Chapter 4 in The World IT Project:Global Issues in Information Technology, 2020, pp 43-55 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This chapter presents the importance that Brazilian information technology (IT) professionals assign to current IT-related organizational and technological issues, and a myriad of individual perceptions about the IT job. The organizational and technological issues come from a number of scales available in the literature, including reports sponsored by the Society for Information Management (SIM) and published annually regarding how US IT executives see the industry trends. As for the job issues, Brazilian professionals manifested their views on classical constructs. The Brazilian survey was done in 2015–2016 and gathered the answers of 348 professionals. Broadly, they see the proposed IT trends as important to themselves in the organizational setting, and they seem to be happy with their job appointments. A particular finding is that a very large array of different technologies that populate the modern work environment are considered important to the individual worker, probably due to technology integration, ubiquity, and pervasiveness being a reality in organizations.
